They said timely and correctly performed CPR could help save lives. Police and prison personnel were given practical training on identifying cardiac emergencies, performing chest compressions and providing basic assistance to a cardiac arrest victim until medical help arrives. SP Narasimha Kishore said CPR training would be particularly important for frontline personnel deployed during the Godavari Pushkaralu, as they could be among the first to respond to emergencies.
Dr Hayagriva Rao suggested that CPR training should be included in school education so that basic life-saving skills become familiar to students from an early age.
